Tiara has two cards (a microchannel card and an AT card (16 bit only))
that use a Fujitsu ethernet chip called the MB86950 EtherStar.  Tiara
hasn't agreed to write a packet driver for it yet, but we've talked to
them about it.  Call them up and suggest it too.

I think they also have an 8-bit card with the National chip on it (I
havn't seen this one).  If this is what you have, then it probably
wouldn't take much work on Robert Clements' WD8003 packet driver to
get it working.

Gateway has done a packet driver.  This would be best obtained
directly from Gateway (ideally it would be shipped with the card) but
we do have a copy if you can't.
